Mr. Hacker said let's go Phishing

Don't be a phishing scam victim.

I'm using a real email that I received from a scammer to illustrate how creative and desperate these bottom feeders are getting. The email went to my spam folder so that made it suspicious. Sometimes legitimate email gets caught in the spam folder. In this case if was a dangerous form of a phishing scam. The email account that was used is not on record with the credit union, and I don't have an account with the credit union so that tipped me off.

Look at the grammar on the email. WAS and CAN. No email signature. What is really dangerous and sneaky about this email is the www,navyfederal,org/support link. It's a legitimate link if periods were used instead of commas hidden in the hyperlink underline. Very clever if you don't look at it real closely.

A person worrying about identity theft might click on the link thinking someone opened an account in their name or made some change to the account. Be careful with all suspicious emails. Call the institution in question if you want to make sure your not an identity theft victim.
